Chapter 1605: Chapter 1605: Travel Around

When he noticed Geoffrey looking so excited, Zen felt rather guilty.

It was true. He couldn't be considered a dutiful father, and had never even seriously spent any time with his son. However, in his heart, he had made the decision to take time to travel around with him more.

After Zen had handed the Crown of Destiny over to Wynn, Wynn had told him that something had to be done to the Crown of Destiny and it would take some time.

Thus, Master Feng had arranged accommodation for Zen and the others from the Cloud Hall.

After dealing with these trivial matters and having everyone settle down, Zen wasn't in a hurry to discuss the next step. Instead, he took Geoffrey and Letitia out for a trip.

"If a great world is a unit...

Then a supreme world is a thousand such units!

This supreme world is truly vast and endless!"

Sitting on Zen's shoulder, Geoffrey let out a cry of surprise in his childish voice.

The distant mountains that stretched endlessly were like motionless elephants in a deep sleep, emitting a majestic aura in the heavens and on earth. A single glance at them could make people feel full of power.

“A supreme world is a thousand great worlds? Who told you that?” Zen asked, puzzled.

“It's from the book!” Geoffrey replied with a smile.

“The book from the library, you mean?” Zen asked.

“Yes!”

Geoffrey replied, happily. He then went on to say, “The one million great worlds are the feet. The one hundred thousand supreme worlds are the hands. The stars in the skies above are the internal organs. And as the stars revolve, it's like a living being who begins to breathe, forming a style of its own…”

“What's the name of this book, Geoffrey?” Although Geoffrey's voice was still young and hadn't begun to change yet, the content of his words was extraordinary. To Zen, it felt as though he was being enlightened.

“Summary of Constructing the Universe,” answered Geoffrey in an honest, straightforward tone.

The title wasn't hard to understand. Clearly, this book spoke of what the author had experienced when constructing the universe.

Constructing an universe was an extremely complex process, and more had to be done to stabilize it on the boundaries of the divine land.

Zen immediately thought that this book had probably been written by his master Bromley, while he was building his own universe.

That library was truly a treasure trove. It was a pity that Zen hadn't taken the time to read through all the ancient books within, and it was thus somewhat of a waste for him to have the library at all.

Little Geoffrey, on the other hand, who actually enjoyed reading, benefited greatly from the library.

“As a father, you're too ignorant in front of your son,” Letitia said, all while giving a gentle smile. Geoffrey's serious tone when repeating the book's passage made her feel proud. This little guy, who had once given her many headaches, was now beginning to show his true talent and power.

Zen chuckled. Losing to his son wasn't a big deal. He, too, was proud of Geoffrey.

Half a day later, after passing through the mountain range, the bustling Strongdell City came creeping into view.

Zen originally wanted to take Geoffrey to another place to see the magnificent scenery. Geoffrey grabbed Zen's hand though, pointed at the city beyond and said, “Dad! I want to go to the city!” R𝐚N𝙤ВĘŚ

“Sure,” Zen said, immediately agreeing to his son's small request.

Hence, the couple brought Geoffrey to visit the Strongdell City.

There were tens of millions of mortals in the city.

The Sacred race threatened to fight and kill every day, but the vast majority of people still led their day to day lives. They weren't interested in the sounds from the Roaring Tokens continuously ringing in their ears. They were only concerned with their daily lives.

What was more, a large number of them didn't even know about the Celestial Position's existence. They only knew that this place, where they all lived, was called the Strongdell City, and outside of the Strongdell City was the most remote place of the sky. If one wanted to go there, they would have to go through a transmission channel, and 99% of the mortals had never gone through one in their entire lives.

In other words, to them, the city was their entire world.

And because their world was small, it was easier for them to be content with what they had.

Once Zen and Letitia had successfully concealed their cultivation levels, they slowly walked down the street, hand in hand with Geoffrey.

Peddlers' cries could be heard as the fragrance of food burst through the air, pouring into their nostrils. The people selling osmanthus cakes, dumplings, wontons and more were all lined up in a row.

Upon seeing the numerous snacks, Geoffrey couldn't help but become extremely excited.

The meals he had eaten ever since he was young were personally made by Letitia, and with the help of Imogen, they had gathered various treasures relying on the influence of Cloud Hall in order to make Geoffrey's food. These treasures were definitely capable of helping Geoffrey create a physique that was far superior to that of his peers, but in terms of taste, it wasn't delicious, to say the least.

The sight and smell of these snacks made Geoffrey drool. He suddenly felt as though this food was probably the best tasting in the world.

“Dad, I want to eat this, this, and this...” Geoffrey's fingers danced over the snacks, his cheeks flushed. To him, these were delicacies and he couldn't control himself anymore.

Zen simply nodded his head, “Okay, son, I'll buy them all.”

“It's not good for your health to eat too many of these grains,” Letitia said, rather unwilling to let Geoffrey indulge himself in this way.

When warriors cultivated, they would keep their flesh pure. Therefore, after reaching the nature level, they would have to follow a very strict diet. The grains contained too many impurities and they would precipitate into warriors' bodies after being eaten. Naturally, it would have no effect on Letitia and Zen if they ate these impurities, but Geoffrey's cultivation was still low, and he had never gone on a fast yet. It was simple; too many grains were simply not good for him.

Seeing Geoffrey pout, Zen waved his hand and smiled. “Such a little amount of impurity won't be a problem, in my opinion. You've worried far too much, Tia. Geoffrey, you can eat as much as you want today…”

“No way,” Letitia said. She might have pampered Geoffrey a lot in the Cloud Hall, but when it came to the food he ate, she was very strict.

Zen stood in front of Letitia to prevent her from moving forward, all while at the same time giving a little pat on Geoffrey's butt. Geoffrey made a face at Letitia, and then rushed over to the stands like a gust of wind.

Seeing Zen spoil Geoffrey so much, Letitia could do nothing but feel helpless, glaring at her husband with grievance.

When it was time to pay the bill, the hawkers quickly extended their hands toward Zen. “Sir, eight silver coins, please!”

“Sir, this apricot cake costs a total of four silver coins...”

“...”

Zen was slightly startled as he watched these hawkers reach out their hands, asking him to pay money. Immediately, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

Where could he find the money?

Not only did he not have a single silver coin on him, he didn't have a sliver of gold, either.

Gold and silver were the most widespread currencies among mortals. The currencies used by martial artists were life vitality crystals and life vitality jades.

The hawkers, now looking at Zen with palms turned upward also found Zen's expression to be quite strange.

Just from Zen's appearance, who had an impressive physique and remarkable temperament and Letitia's beauty, ordinary mortals could tell at a glance that these were not ordinary people. A mortal would never believe that they could have problems paying such a small sum of money.

The hawkers didn't dare say anything, though. They simply waited, hands extended, for Zen to pay the bills. Zen remained dumbfounded; he truly didn't know what he could use to pay for the food. He couldn't just pull out a life vitality jade. A single life vitality jade, in fact, could probably buy over a hundred streets of this city.

Geoffrey, who was standing to the side, didn't care about such things and was already engrossed in eating.

“Tia...” Zen could only glance at Letitia for help.

Letitia turned her head away with a smile on her face, but didn't respond a single word.

“Tia,” Zen urged, gently tugging on the corner of her clothes. He was a powerful world lord now, and he wouldn't do such a thing as running away for a few silver coins. This was too shameful. He felt terrible.

As Letitia saw her husband in such a predicament, her heart softened. She rolled her eyes before reaching for her space ring.

In fact, Letitia didn't usually carry any gold or silver with her either, but she was the kind of woman who always carried plenty of little trinkets along with her. A few of them were made of gold, such as the hairpin she took out from her space ring. She transformed the pin into a number of small golden beads and handed them over to Zen.

When Zen saw these gold beads, he let out a sigh of relief. He finally had a way out of this embarrassing situation. However, he didn't expect that when he handed the gold beads to the peddlers, they were all completely overwhelmed.

“Sir, this is just way too much...”

“These are pure gold beads, and they are enough to buy my entire shop. Besides, I simply don't have enough change to give you…”

“Eight silver coins is enough, sir. Do you have that amount?”

Zen immediately felt a headache approach as he heard these words. With a flick of his hand and perfect control of his strength, the gold beads fell into the hawkers' pockets. Zen immediately grabbed Geoffrey by the arm and said, “There's no need for change.” He left briskly, leaving no trace behind him.

Geoffrey tightly grabbed onto the snacks in his hand, completely ignoring the surrounding noises. It was true that this child's greatest ability was to focus.

Letitia leisurely followed behind the two of them. Seeing her husband's actions, squirming beneath the embarrassment, she couldn't help but feel amused. As for the peddlers, they all stood, minds blown, completely dumbfounded.

Each of them had four to five gold beads in their pockets, which was equivalent to several years of revenue in their business. It wasn't until the immortal-like couple had left far, far away that they finally got back to their senses and realized that they had just made a fortune. They were extremely excited. Although they had guessed at the idea that the couple were not mortals, they were now sure of their guesses. This city was after all a city in the Upper World, and it wasn't at all impossible to encounter rich warriors here!
